Reunion

Clubs and Groups

FClubs and groups affiliated with the Alumnae Association of Mount Holyoke College connect alumnae to one another and to the College. Members of clubs and groups interact in person and virtually—from hosting events to serving the local community to providing career networking opportunities to simply connecting over a shared interest. Club and group members also often volunteer for College offices, such as the Office of Admission, the Office of Advancement, or the Career Development Center.

Membership in our more than one hundred alumnae clubs and groups is open to any alum, graduate or non-graduate, who attended Mount Holyoke for at least a year, or any recipient of a graduate degree from Mount Holyoke College.

» How to apply for affiliated club status with the Alumnae Association.

Alums have created social media groups to connect with other Mount Holyoke alums. They are simply groups of alums with a common interest or connection. These groups interact primarily online, using Facebook, and other social media. These groups are not affiliated with or sponsored by the Alumnae Association. If you have a group that you’d like listed below, please contact alumnaeassociation@mtholyoke.edu.

Many classes and clubs have their own social media groups.

Connect with other dynamic Mount Holyoke alumnae in your area by volunteering for a club or group or starting one in your area. Club and group volunteers can find resources on our Club and Group Volunteers webpage.
